Warnings and safety instructions
13
To prevent the risk of fire, textiles that have not been cleaned thor-
oughly or are still soiled with deposits of any kind must not be dried
in this tumble dryer. This applies in particular to textiles that
- have not been washed.
- have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease,
oil or other deposits (such as cooking oils, cosmetics, lotions,
etc.). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger
that they might ignite when heated, even after they have been re-
moved from the tumble dryer at the end of the programme.
- have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents or which
contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene,
stain remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemic-
als (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
- items that have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled items:
ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temper-
ature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
To prevent the risk of fire, these textiles must not be tumble dried:
- textiles that have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents)
- textiles which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex
foam rubber, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberised articles
and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.
- textiles containing padding or fillings which are damaged (e.g. pil-
lows, jackets). The filling could fall out and cause a risk of fire.
